1. From the side gears of the differential, the torque developed by the engine is transmitted to the front (leading) wheels by means of two drive shafts of unequal length. On diesel models and gasoline models with high power engines, the transmission of torque to the right front wheel is carried out using an additional intermediate shaft.
2. The right and left drive shafts are equipped with internal and external constant velocity joints). On the models discussed in this manual, double compensation CV joints are installed.
3. The trunnions of the outer hinges are equipped with splines that provide articulation with the wheel hubs. On the outside of the hubs, the hinge pins are fixed with large hub nuts (see chapter 10). The internal hinges are also slotted into a sliding connection with the side gears of the differential and are fixed with locking rings. intermediate shaft (with appropriate equipment) one of its ends is splined with the side gear of the differential, the other end of the shaft is fixed in the intermediate support (bracket) and is connected to the right drive shaft also using a spline connection.
